Simple Summary Recently, the use of medicinal herbs for regulating reproduction has received much attention in aquaculture, as they are safe, effective, biodegradable, and locally available. The data on the use of cacao bean meal as a food supplement for fish are extremely scarce. This study assessed ...
Background Coastal saltpans are a common supratidal human-modified wetland habitat found within many coastal landscape mosaics. Commercial salt production and aquaculture practices often result in the creation of exposed coastal substrates that could provide suitable breeding habitat for waterbird ...
To properly assess risk, an animal must focus its attention on relevant external stimuli; however, attention can be reallocated when distracting stimuli are present. This reallocation of attention may interfere with an individual’s ability to effectively assess risk and may impede its response. Multiple ...
The distributional response of marine fishes to climate warming would be expected to be very different than that of homeothermic birds and mammals, due both to more direct thermal effects on poikilothermic fish physiology and on reduced habitat fragmentation. In this study, we use a combination of linear ...
The nutrient load generated by excessive coastal aquaculture farms leads to self-pollution, and lead to a decline in aquaculture production. In order to assess the sustainability of coastal aquaculture and estimate the optimal aquaculture intensity in the future, a simplified Aquaculture Intensity Index ...
The rising popularity of aquaculture has led to increased research in offshore algae farming. Central to the efficient operation of such farms is the need for (i) accurate models of the dynamic ocean environment including macroalgae ecosystem dynamics and (ii) intelligent path planning algorithms for ...
This paper presents an autonomous robotic system, IRIS, designed for lost fishing gear recovery. The vehicle was developed in the context of the NetTag project. This is a European Union project funded by EASME the Executive Agency for Small and Medium Enterprises addressing marine litter, and the reduction ...
Fisheries is in need for high-quality observations at scales that resolve critical ecological processes and are timely for management. Recent advances in ocean observing technologies have improved the spatial and temporal resolution of measurements, performed during conventional scientific surveys as ...
ICT (Information and Communication Technology) application in various sectors is proliferating, including the fisheries sector. This paper describes the results of a combination between GPS transmission, temperature-depth sensor installation, and participatory data collection by fishers on gillnet fisheries ...
Accurate prediction of sea surface temperature (SST) is of great importance for ocean-related industries such as fisheries. In this paper, we propose a generative adversarial model for SST nowcasting. Our model combines a modified Convolutional Long Short-Term Memory model (convL-STM) as a generator, ...
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) CoastWatch/OceanWatchPolarWatch (a.k.a. “CoastWatch”) aims to improve decision outcomes by facilitating the use of ocean satellite data in applications and research for understanding, managing and protecting ocean, coastal and inland water resources ...
This paper presents systems for measuring wave height with a personal ocean observation buoy mounted with a 6-axis motion sensor. In the Japanese fishing industry, while introduction of ICT has been progressing to measure ocean environmental data and manage the safety of fisheries, there are some problems, ...
Detecting of specific species by image and video is a challenging task for cost-effectively fish monitoring systems. The current technologies to detect and count fishes for aquaculture are mainly based on sonar or manpower. The key problems to count fish in a fish cage using underwater optical cameras ...
Holothurian measurement is a basic requirement in aquaculture. In-situ non-contact measurements are basically harmless, which make such techniques as an idea choice for aquaculture monitoring. To develop an in-situ non-contact holothurian measurement system, there are two main challenges. Without contact, ...
In Vietnam, the energy demand shows an ever-increasing trend. To limit the utilization of fossil fuels and the following consequences for the environment, renewable energy sources must be adopted. In this context, the paper assesses the utilization of offshore wind and sea wave, by considering a commercial ...
Simple Summary Sardina pilchardus and Engraulis encrasicolus are largely consumed in Europe as fresh or ripened dishes. Their consumption may represent a public health risk in regard to Anisakis allergic reactions and anisakiasis. This study aimed to evaluate the presence of Anisakis spp. larvae in ...
Different activities threaten underwater communication cables in both deep and shallow/coastal waters. The study presented in this paper focuses on deep-water areas. The study reports on Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) sensors and autonomous platforms that could be used to detect ...
Simple Summary Ecuador is considered a biodiversity reserve in which 951 native freshwater species of fish are recognized. Most of them have not been characterized and are endemic, inhabiting fragile ecosystems and presenting an endangered situation. In this work, chame was morphostructurally characterized; ...
Bottarga is a high-priced delicacy with high nutritional value, and, in Italy, bottarga from mullets has been recognized to be a traditional food product. The flathead grey mullet Mugil cephalus and the thinlip grey mullet Liza ramada are the main cultured grey mullets in the Mediterranean Sea. In this ...
To explain why an action is wrong, we sometimes say, “What if everybody did that?” In other words, even if a single person’s behavior is harmless, that behavior may be wrong if it would be harmful once universalized. We formalize the process of universalization in a computational model, test its quantitative ...
